Tawoo Portugal

Portugal’s first Taiko Dojo!

I’m Kaori Shiozawa, originally from Japan, where I began my taiko journey. After years of dedicated practice and performing, I brought my passion for taiko to Portugal, where I founded this dojo. I wanted to create a space where taiko is not just about drumming, but about self-discovery and personal growth.

Our dojo is a place to explore more than just technical skills. My goal is to help you use taiko as a way to walk your own path freely, discovering your true self by becoming aware of your body, thoughts, and habits. Along with my dear friend and professional therapist, Gillian, who has a deep understanding of body movement and energy, we guide students not only in taiko but in reconnecting with themselves.
